Ok, here's the line-by-line breakdown from Scene 4 of our epic tale. Remember to read from the bottom up.

  1. Had she told him her name? Sam wondered. She couldn't recall but pushed the thought aside. There was a staircase waiting. (via nettsche)
  2. Sam sighed. What was that supposed to mean? Why did everyone here have to speak in riddles? #bbcawdio (via mackenzie_finch)
  3. "Just remember, lass, the most important doors are the hardest ones to find," Finnigan said before he disappeared. #bbcawdio (via selorian)
  4. "How do you know my name?!" Sam asked, startled. #bbcawdio (via loupok)
  5. "I best get 'round back with this delivery before Her Excellency has m' head, and you best start climbing, young Sam." (via Taragel)
  6. "She collects all sorts of things. Doors too, and memories, and dropped intentions." He sighed. "This is all I can do." (via luiswulf)
  7. "What's this for?" Sam asked. She still wasn't sure how much she could trust this Finnegan character. #bbcawdio (via dstieglitz313)
  8. He reached deep into his pocket and quickly handed her a key. #bbcawdio (via vagabond_blue)
  9. "...if you find yourself in trouble in there, rub that trinket of yours three times. Remember that, three times." (via simon_staffans)
  10. "Well this is as far as I can take you Miss, but before you go..." #bbcawdio (via doodlewhale)
  11. Sam began to feel her hands clamming up and her heart race. #bbcawdio (via Jennyworsley)
  12. Sam took a peep outside & she saw a long flight of stairs that shimmered in the moonlight. #bbcawdio (via cafenirvana)
  13. The music was louder now, and mixed with a babble of voices. #bbcawdio (via techtigger)
  14. Sam glowered, and opened her mouth to protest, but suddenly the carriage came to a halt. #bbcawdio (via Taragel)
  15. "Aye. You're not more than two hundred, if that." Finnegan replied. "And didn't I tell you to say nothing?" #bbcawdio (via mackenzie_finch)
  16. "Little lass?" Sam asked after they had passed by the footmen. #bbcawdio (via tombness)
  17. "Very well then," the first footman said. "Carry on." He waived his wooden hand forward, and the carriage continued on. (via dstieglitz313)
  18. "This little lass is comin' to the party. She should amuse Her Excellency". Sam thought the comment ominous, but said nothing. (via celebelei)
  19. "And who is your passenger?" the other footman asked. #bbcawdio (via dstieglitz313)
  20. Finnegan smiled, and put a finger to his lips. "That's for Her ears only, you know that. And Her eyes, too." (via mackenzie_finch)
  21. "What have you got for Her Excellency today, Finnegan?" One of the footmen said as he opened the carriage door #bbcawdio (via loupok)
  22. They looked like life-size puppets, and were holding long spears. #bbcawdio (Via dstieglitz313)
  23. "Say nothing." she heard Finnegan hiss as the cart rumbled to a stop. "And, whatever happens, keep that egg out of sight." (via valeca)
  24. Two footmen approached the carriage. #bbcawdio (via snarkspork)
  25. Sam tightened her grip on the egg. She felt somehow comforted by it #bbcawdio (via doodlewhale)
  26. Sam reached down to the tiny egg in her pocket. #bbcawdio (via snarkspork)
  27. The egg in her pocket began to pulse as the carriage came to a stop. #bbcawdio (via B3gillin)
  28. Sam had a nagging feeling that she may have just become the grandest trinket of all. #bbcawdio (via selorian)
  29. From within the carriage, Sam saw halls of marble, of alabaster, of mithril. They all were beautiful, but ... (via khohannessian)
  30. Once they had finished passing through the gate, it faded away just as quickly and mysteriously as it had appeared. (via dstieglitz313)
  31. The wagon was filled with marbles, bracelets, gemstones. Sam sat down abruptly as the wagon lurched into motion. #bbcawdio (simon_staffans)
  32. Sam stepped into the carriage. #bbcawdio (via glenbw)
  33. Finnegan began to lead his horses and carriage into the castle, as Sam stared. "Not joining us after all?" he asked. (via dstieglitz313)
  34. "carry on", said the woman, "and make it a good haul; Her excellency is in a mood tonght" #bbcawdio (via youstruckgold)
  35. Handing it over, Sam could only stare as a gate appeared out of nowhere on the castle wall. It slowly swung open. (via simon_staffans)
  36. Finnegan turned to Sam. "Now," he said, "Your entry fee. That bracelet will do." #bbcawdio (via dnairnw)
  37. The little man tipped his hat and bowed to the woman. "Just collecting the entrance fee for Her Excellency's party here." (via luiswulf)
  38. Quick as a flash, Sam bent down and picked it up. #bbcawdio (via ange1ina)
  39.  as she leaned out, the bracelet on the woman's thin wrinkled wrists fell out the window and landed just behind sam's foot (via youstruckgold)
  40. She leaned out of the window. "Trinkets I see? What have you brought for me? Are they shiny? Are they bright?" #bbcawdio (via techtigger)
  41. Sam couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but she couldn't help but stare... the woman had a green glow about her. #bbcawdio (via almeldiel)
  42. "Finnegan!" the woman called out. "You going to be lazing about out there all day when there's work ta be done?" (via dstieglitz313)
  43. Sam quickly curled her fingers around the egg and shoved it in her pocket. #bbcawdio (via techtigger)
  44. Music was playing somewhere behind the castle walls. A light, springy melody, it was beckoning to Sam. #bbcawdio (via simon_staffans)
  45. "But I don't have any other trinkets" Sam said desperately. Just then, a window opened on the tower and a woman leaned out (via taragel)
  46. She rolled it between her fingers. The green vein grew brighter. #bbcawdio (via moirawrite)
  47. Then he lowered his eyes and whispered, "You best put that away Miss, before anyone sees." #bbcawdio (via vagabond_blue)
  48. Where had that come from, Sam wondered. #bbcawdio (via dstieglitz313)
  49. It was a marble egg, tiny and pulsating, with a shell of rich veined green . The little man eyed it voraciously. #bbcawdio (via luiswulf)
  50. The man blinked, "I can't hardly believe! I haven't seen something like that in years!" #bbcawdio (via hazeltwilight)
  51. She looked down at the object she had pulled out then.... #bbcawdio (via loupok)
  52. "No one would dare insult Her Excellency like that!" Sam stammered, trying to sound insulted herself. #bbcawdio (via nataliefyffe)
  53. "Oh quite sure!" as she pulled the object out of her pocket, hoping it would pass for a trinket #bbcawdio (via didius111)
  54. Sliding her fingers into her pocket, they landed against something smooth and warm. #bbcawdio (via terencewest)
  55. He walked up to here and eyed Sam up and down. "Are you quite sure you're invited?" he said, his nose wrinkling slightly (via simon_staffans)
  56. Sam took a step back, patting her pockets. She felt a small bump in the left one, just about the size and shape of a marble (via thessilian)
  57. "Her Most Excellent Collector of Things requires a trinket from all that attend," he said as he stepped from the carriage. (via selorian)
  58. The man nodded, then scowled. "Well then! Where's your trinket, now? No admittance without one, as you well know." #bbcawdio (via luiswulf)
  59. Sam looked down for a moment, then steeled herself. She might as well play along til things were sorted. "Yes, of course!" (via melodyg)
  60. The little man seemed to notice her for the first time. "Well hello there miss, you come for the party too?" he asked (via simon_staffans)
  61. "Wait!" Sam shouted after the little man. "Can you tell me where I am?" #bbcawdio (via nycteris)
  62. The carriage stopped abruptly at the base of the tower. The little man banged on the side of the vehicle: "Delivery time!" (via luiswult)
  63. In the back of his carriage were numerous trinkets of all sorts. #bbcawdio (via dstieglitz313)
  64. "Tiddle dee dee and a Tally Ho!" shouted the little man. #bbcawdio (via dannygunter)
  65. Sam jumped out of the way as the carriage nearly ran her down. #bbcawdio (via WotV)
  66. A small carriage driven by a little man cracking a whip over six tiny horses barreled down the street toward her. #bbcawdio (via selorian)

Many Microsoft MCSA Certificationclasses claim to teach you the full gamut of Microsoft MCITP course material in a short amount of time. The problem with most Microsoft 70-270MCITP 70-290 Examcourses is that you must stick by their schedule. With the Microsoft MCITP download from testking you can use the Microsoft MCITP ebook and learn Microsoft MCITP Examdetails in your own timeframe, at your own pace and pass Microsoft MCITP exams the first time.
